casualkenny.9817 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 My char did not receive the meta chest from casino meta: 1) 1st time for that day 2) participated in 2 rounds of coins, definitely hit pinata sufficiently my buddy has also experienced this twice, same conditions, on different days, in different instances thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom.1675 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Same thing has happened to me last 2 days in a row. I did the event right after daily reset and got no chest. Came back later in the day and was able to get it. Not sure what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Has that character done other events other than that meta before? I’m only asking because you could have gotten DR. I had the same problem with the Forged with Fire meta as the character parked specifically at that meta experienced DR and wouldn’t get the chest after two days.

melandru.3876 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 hitting it is not enough. you need to do tagworthy damage (not sure what the exact minimum is, but for open world farming champions are 5k dmg minimum per example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom.1675 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 So, just didn't get the chest again after killing 2nd time. I left Crystal Oasis, killed Shatterer, came back. As for tagging pretty sure I did enough damage -- over 200k or so just eyeballing combat log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualkenny.9817 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 quite sure i did enuff dmg. that char is sufficiently geared, and started hitting rite from the start. _shldnt_ be DR since casino is the only thing i do in CO (and core pof maps), once a day, unless... the event count decay is really long or does not dissipate on logging off that char..... i hope, rite? on the other hand, in the same game-day 4hrs later, my lvl 50 char logged in to a pinata that was almost dying, and i managed to hit it with raptor and an auto... and i got the hero chest...

Grassrab.9302 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 DR on events kicks in when you repeat the same event on the same character over and over, without doing other event (chains) in between. See https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Diminishing_returns Either switching toons or do some other events to clear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 And as above poster said its events not a single worldboss we dont know how many events thats needed for dr to vanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualkenny.9817 Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 oh dang, really sounds like DR then. thanks all, esp ayrilana. i mistook ur meaning the first time and might be made worse by taking part in the troublemaker events this is so pesky... i parked her there because she was my also daily-craft char.

phantom.1675 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The problem is this is highly inconsistent. IE one account parks a character there and only kills pinata 10 days in a row, gets a chest everytime. 2nd account parks a character there and after two days, even after changing maps, doing events etc, does not get chest? That is a bug, not a feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom.1675 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Tried a brand new character, killed it twice (two days in a row) and now this character also can't get the chest. Two days doesn't seem like "farming" to me, perhaps this still needs a look. I will submit bug reports in game each time it happens to "help" you out. As for this being DR, it really shouldn't be -- " Although DR could affect most activities that have potential for abuse, very few players will experience it during normal play.[2]" "It affects the amount of coin, experience, karma, and Map Bonus Rewards.

Raizel.1839 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 1) Partecipating in collecting coins has no influence toward final chest, you could afk as well, all that matter is hitting the piñata. 2) Maybe it was just your perception and you didn't hit the piñata enough. Or it wasn't your first clear for that day, there are no other possibilities (except a new unknown bug). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom.1675 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I am confident I hit the pinata a lot (screenshot of combat log with 30+ hits of 1 to 10k). I also thought it had to do with me being forgetful about having already done it the first time it happened, however it has happened 3 times at the Pinata event immediately after reset, which means this is impossible. I also verified all three times using the daily chest tracker available in GW2efficiency. Additionally, I can bring a new character to the event and repeat it and I get the chest. There is some weird form of character flagging occurring that looks like a bug. Based on the conversations happening in Crystal Oasis, I am not the only person affected by this.

casualkenny.9817 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 k, i just used a char that normally doesn't do anything in CO, and she didn't get the chest too (only the chest, got everything else)... is there any possibility that the reset is by 24hr instead of daily reset? or 2nd possibility, that DR also tracks by launcher/ip? and yea, i do agree that even if it was related to DR, this seems like a false positive, and it would be good if anet could remove this false positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Out of curiosity for those consistently not getting the chest, have you tried joining a squad? Just to rule out that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualkenny.9817 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 i haven't taken note of the squad bit, but iirc im usually in a squad for taxi... not sure tho. also, just did pinata again (4hrs after the previous failed run, where i got everything except the hero chest), and got it this time. in which direction would being in a squad affect it? will take note of it from now on. also did a survey of abt 20-40 ppl while waiting for pinata, 4 of whom replied that they had experienced such an issue at least once recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured that if you were in a squad, and still not get it, then something else is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom.1675 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I can't be 100% sure, but pretty sure I have been in a squad for all of the times I haven't gotten the chest. It's also almost certainly character based which is a "solution" but a very annoying one and sucks for people who don't have the time to repeat the event when this bug occurs. Also about the comment that this is a recent unknown bug. The reward rework adding this chest to the game was pretty recent so it's possible that now is when the issues start to show up if it is a bug with either the reset timer or the DR details.

ara.6153 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 This started happening to me today. First kill after reset and no chest. Please fix anet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualkenny.9817 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 as an update: 1) bug happens whether im in squad or not 2) bug happens more often when DR(false positive) might be triggered. BUT today has happened to a char that shouldn't have had DR 3) wondering if the troublemaker events make it worse. i've been avoiding it them recently, but its hard to test reliably anet pls do check if the casino events' event count is either not resetting/decaying properly, overly stringent, or whatever, thanks Edit: Saw this in the notes "Fixed a bug that could prevent the Choya Pinata from dropping Crystal Oasis: Hero's Choice Chests." Thanks for working on it, here's hoping it fully solves the problem :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
